Thai Green Squash Curry

Each week at our community garden in North Park, We like to cook a meal for all the volunteers who’ve helped out ( or even just popped in for a chat! ). In winter, We cook hearty soup, stews and curries. In summer, There’s salads, sandwiches and pasta! When we can, we’re using ingredients we’ve grown ourselves and meals are always vegan or vegetarian.

We’ve found the simple act of eating a meal together creates such a strong sense of community. Having that half an hour with a cup of tea and a listening ear is important to so many of the people who come to the garden.

Amongst many of her duties, Ali acts as head chef, cooking up a nutritious meal for our hardworking gardeners. Here we’ll share our tried and tested recipes that have been cooked up and wolfed down by our team! If you try any of them out, why not tag us in a photo at @thegatewaycollective on instagram
